Stuart Scoops had everything going for it—delicious ice cream, friendly staff, and a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, we’re docking one star for each of our two dogs because they charge for pup cups.
At many other establishments, including Culver’s, Starbucks, Dairy Queen, Baskin Robbins and countless local shops, pup cups are offered for free as a small gesture that acknowledges pets as part of the family. Charging for something so minor—especially when others don’t—feels unnecessary and, frankly, exclusionary.
While we appreciate the human experience, the message is clear: pets aren’t fully welcome here. That’s disappointing, and for that reason, we won’t be returning.

Wonderful home town atmosphere. Love the Ice Cream, especially "Birthday Cake". Pizza is awesome and the individual pizzas are filling. Love the girls at the counter.

Ice cream is very good. REALLY small scoops though for the price. No hot fudge. Disappointed as we were going to stop in Des Moines but decided to stop at a local shop instead.

I love their ice cream! I asked who they get the ice cream from, its from a small dairy farm in Wisconsin. The chocolate mint ice cream is wonderful! The northern lights pizza was also good!
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, took our boys here after a basketball game!

Cute little ice cream parlor with a pizza place to boot! We got individual pizzas which were filling, but the kids enjoyed the ice cream most ❤️ just off the beaten path in Stuart, it was definitely worth the stop!
